A FEW SECONDS had passed, and yet, Francis didn’t even avert his gaze somewhere. Clicking his tongue and tilting his head, he continued staring at the man on the second floor, who also did the same.
They couldn’t see each other properly because they were far away from each other. Still, both of them could feel the tension running in their veins.
‘How brave,’ said Francis at the back of his mind, smirking. ‘I wonder why he is hiding.’
Francis narrowed his eyes, wondering who the man would be. His smirk widened as decided to climb onto the second floor and go onto that specific room where the guy was.
“Sir—”
“I’ll climb alone,” interrupted Francis as one of his

“AUG—”“Shh.”Daphne was about to call August, but the latter suddenly interrupted her by placing his index finger on her lips. He shook his head and turned his direction on his surroundings— like he was telling her how many people were in the venue, and how chaotic it would be if someone notices that he was here.August smiled genuinely as he stared at Daphne, and it looked like she hadn't still absorbed the information that he was in front of her. He understood why.“Shall we?” asked August as he removed his index finger, and extended his arms in front of Daphne, showing his palms. “May I have a short dance with you?”He only said a short dance since he needed to go back to his room as soon as possible.“Sure…”Daphne, although she was still confused, nodded as she held August’s hand. August helped her stand up as he placed both her hands on his chest and his hands on Daphne’s waist afterward.Silence filled their conversation as they started swaying. August wanted to have a casual

‘OH. MY. GOSH.’ The shock would be an understatement to describe Samantha’s feelings right now. Her heart was about to burst up, staring at Francis like it was her first time seeing a man like him up close. “G-Good evening,” Bruce, who was known by everyone as arrogant and authoritative, stammered as he was the one who took Francis’ hand as they shook hands with each other. Francis chuckled a little as he wiped his palm on his expensive pants casually— without any intentions of hiding it so Bruce wouldn’t be offended at all. Bruce and Samantha noticed that, and instead of being insulted, they felt honored for Francis that he wiped his palm on his pants, instead of using a handkerchief. “I’m sorry. I’m just not used to… shaking hands, you know? I always have my people deal with negotiations, especially if it requires skinship,” Francis apologized, but his voice didn’t sound apologetic at all. “It’s fine! It’s fine!” Bruce exclaimed twice, waving his hands. “My hands were also swea

“W-WHAT IS that?”“It’s Bruce Sandoval, isn’t it?”“And it’s… Who’s the man beside him?”As everyone thought that it might be an inside attack that would threaten everyone’s life, all of them were shocked as a video played on the projector.Because of the silence at the place, the sounds were heard, loud and clear, and all people at the party were able to watch it.“I thought you were strong. That’s the impression you gave me… But you’re stupid.”“This… should be enough for you to know who owns Samantha at this time.”It was a chaotic, messy type of video. The camera shot consistently shook, and Bruce knew that it was because of how they gave August alternative punches that night, although he knew that he gave August more punches than Harvey.However, despite the awkward angles and unnecessary moves, the camera quality, and even the sound are great. It cannot be denied that he and Harvey are in that video.No matter how hard he would try to deny that it isn’t him, no one would believe

A MAN WEARING a white suit and a red ribbon tie— a sign that he’s one of the managers at the Rosehouse— appeared in front of Bruce. He had a neutral look on his face, but his eyes had a judging look at it.Samantha sighed in relief as Bruce suddenly went back to his senses, and placed his hand on his lover’s cheeks, caressing it like it was really his plan from the start.She flinched because of the sudden contact, but Bruce glared at him for a second, immediately making her go back to her senses.“Why?! The Sandoval family took part in this! Why would I need to leave?!” Bruce blurted out as his gaze went back to the man, grimacing in dismay.He couldn’t accept the fac

AUGUST BLINKED his eyes twice. Disbelief consumed him when he heard Sapphire’s sentence.“Revenge?” August repeated as he tilted his head in confusion. “For who?”He stared at her more than usual, and Sapphire could feel the intensity of his gaze like he was waiting for more explanation.However, Sapphire didn’t speak after that. She just endured August’s intense stares as she lets the silence speak for her. She wasn’t ready to speak about it now, especially since it still hurts every time she remembers it.It didn’t take them a while until they reached the Remington mansion.“We’re here,” said Raquel as he parked the car in front of the mansion so they wouldn’t need to walk.As Nicollo got out of the car, Raquel drove again to park the car in the garage. He opened the door on Sapphire’s side first to accompany them outside.Sapphire went out first, and just when Nicollo closed the door to walk onto August’s side, she spoke.“I’ll go first,” said Sapphire in a cold, authoritative tone

“WHAT, MAN?” asked Harvey as he raised his eyebrow. “What mess?” Harvey, who was in a steamy session with the two girls he called onto a motel room, sat on the couch, naked. He commanded his whores to stop pleasuring him for a while as he wanted to give his full attention to what Bruce was going to say. ‘Bruce sounded serious,’ said Harvey at the back of his mind. ‘This is odd,’ he added as he chuckled lightly. “Aren’t you aware of the news?” Bruce asked on the other line— Confusion was evident on it. “If I do, would I ask you?” Harvey snorted as he looked and groaned at his fully erected member. Bruce just interrupted him from pounding those girls until they only moan for his name anymore. “The only mess I am in is with my lust— Oh shit.” Harvey has filled again with his dirty, naughty thoughts when Michelle— the host of the annual party earlier— kneeled in front of him and licked the tip of his cock, making him groan. Before his mind would get cluttered with his dirty thoughts
Rise of Power: Return of The Pathetic Commoner Chapter 71: The Second-Ranking Family
MEANWHILE, at the Wellington’s mansion, Francis and Benjamin Anderson, the eldest son of the Anderson Corporation, and would also be the next-in-line heir, sat on the couch as they held their beer mugs, sipping on it from time to time.They were having the time of their lives at Francis’ mini-bar, which serves as a place where they could be wasted altogether, and at the same time, a meeting place where they talk about their wicked plans and harsh gossip.“I should have been there, man!” Benjamin, who was still sober yet acted like he was drunk already, leaned on the couch as he grimaced. “I can’t believe I missed that remarkable moment at the party. Tch.”Benjamin grunted. No matter how many times he watched the CCTV camera where Bruce’s havoc could be seen, he knew that it would give him a different feeling if only he was watching the scene personally.“Stop complaining already. It’s done.” Francis shook his head and drank the remaining beer in his mug.It seems like the beer doesn’t

AS JAKE heard what Bruce had said, his remaining patience was pushed to its limits. He pulled Bruce in the collar, nearer than before, as he gritted his teeth. He wanted to punch his son until he understood what was happening and came back to his senses.“You imbecile, little man…” said Jake in a disappointed and low tone as his gaze turned onto the two bodyguards still holding him. “Bring him to my other room.”“Jake!”Nicole grunted as she was about to approach Jake so she could try persuading him, but when Jake gave her his intense, deadly look, she stopped moving. Her feet felt like it was frozen to the floor.“He’s our son…” Nicole reminded him in a weak tone, almost whispering. “I don’t know what you’ll do to him, but he’s our only son!”Jake didn’t speak. Nor the coldness in his eyes changed despite what she said.The bodyguards started to pull Bruce, who didn’t fight back anymore, to the second floor. His forehead was sweating, the same as his palms. He knew what might happ
